Smoke leaking out from the exhaust port connection

[marmak3261]

If you have a 3D printer or have access to one, print up an exhaust flange extension. It really helps to get a better platform to place the hose on. You can also find an adapter that fits online or at some hardware stores. There are several topics that treat this.

3D modeling approach for flange design?

Hi – I want to work up a design for an exhaust port extension for my GF. I understand why the current design was limited to ~15mm, but I continue having a hard time getting a good (odor-tight) seal at that end. I have a 3D printer and figure I can easily print a female to male adapter fitting both the outside diameter of the GF exhaust and the inside diameter of hose/ducting. Using sketch-up, I can make two primitives with an appropriate wall thickness, one with the correct ID and the other w…

Foil tape works well too.

What do I do with this?

I bought this. It is a two pack so one on each end of the run. The foil was only needed on the flex hose end, the band straps made them tight to back of the Glowforge.
